Whats the difference between the Black Warriors and Mirado Classic Yellow pencils?

I believe the Classic Yellow has an angled barrel while I know the Black Warrior has a rounded one. Yes, that means it rolls off your desk easier, but I also find that it's more comfortable if I am going to be writing for awhile. I also think the matte black finish looks classier than glossy yellow, but that's subjective.

I've only used the Black Warriors. I can't imagine a better pencil than the Black Warrior but being round it does tend to roll. The Classic Yellows are hexagonal and won't roll. The diameter of the Black Warrior is slightly larger than a standard pencil. Overall the Black Warrior just feels right.

Dixon Ticonderogas are pretty good. I buy them for my kids. They are the minimum quality pencil I will use if I have a choice. But I always reach for my Generals first and I save them for me since they do cost more and my kids do not appreciate the aesthetic pleasures of writing with a top quality pencil. I say Dixons are fine for the kids, but get Generals for yourself. Especially if you do extensive writing/note taking in pencil. Worth every penny. And General's is not paying me. (But if they're listening I wouldn't turn down a free box thrown my way. Hint.)

I spoke to a Tech. Rep from Plano this morning. She advised me that there is no difference between the red, yellow, or black handled versions. It's a color preference only.

The Blackwing 602 is a 2B lead, which is softer and darker than a #2. Would it work on a standardized test? probably. But they are not a #2 pencil so use at your own risk. For a number two you can't go wrong with a Dixon Ticonderoga. FYI when shopping a #2 lead in USA is equal to a HB lead internationally. You could call it the pencil lead metric system...

I have the 132 pencils, what is the difference, and why 18 pencils make the 150 pencils set 40 dolars more expensive? Do you happen to know which colours are extra? Do you have in stock? Thank you.

Besides being soft and easy to blend, the PREMIER pencils have way more pigment color per pencil than the Scholar pencils do. Check out the virtual instructor for more info on them, and to see them in action. I love mine, they blend really great! Hope this helps.

There was nothing to indicate otherwise. Your best bet would be to buy them at your local comic store so you know exactly what you are getting. Mine were Korean when I got them.

The pens you ask about work the same. Looking at the lead colors, it seems there is not any difference except price. I own three now. I've also bought extra leads in the colors I want. I use one pentel multi pencil for sketching when I haven't my watercolors with me or I'm in a museum. The other two I have divided with warm colors in one pen and cool colors in the other pen. These I have with me all the time in case I'm asked for a thumbnail rough draft of suggested colors for interior or exterior buildings, clothing or designs when I don't have my entire set of colored pencils with me to demonstrate to a client the possibilities I see. They are very convenient for that. I use something else (similar to a crayon) for my scriptures, since the pages are so thin.

Less dark than the modern Black Warrior, though the pencil is finished much better. It does not compare to a Blackwing (any of the three) in darkness or smoothness. But these are not $20 a dozen.

The original pencils are Blackwing 602, they are a dark green color. Then there are new versions with a slightly softer lead called Palamino Blackwing pencils which come in Black or in White. They are very good pencils. Be sure to read the description to get the color you want.

I don't know what you mean by origins. They work very well; silky-like rather than waxy like cheap "kid's" pencils, but the only complaint I have is that when I sharpen them, the lead is broke all through. By the time I am finally able use it, it's super short and most of the pencil is wasted. Like the lead is broke up inside the pencil. I don't know if they were damaged in shipping or if at the manufacturer. They didn't offer me new/replacement pencils either! Next time I am going to order the woodless pencils.

The black is soft and can be damaged with moderate force. The yellow is quite durable, but it depends on just what you are doing with the silverware. Hope this helps some.

I own both. They're both great Styluses if used only for the Stylus aspect of it. If you're looking into Pencil by 53, you're most likely wanting the erase functionality as well (when paired with the Paper app). If you ONLY want a stylus, this is still a great option, but you're paying for features you may never use.

Inktense pencils are otherwise normal pencils - I would use a good quality hand turning sharpener to avoid wasting color in the sharpener

I have not used the Dixon Ticonderoga pencil, so I cannot make a comparison. I will say that the General Pencil Company Cedar Pointe No. 2 is a good quality pencil with a nice eraser and it is also made in the USA, which I really appreciate.

It says in the info that it is indeed a #2 pencil. I highly recommend these bad boys. Right out of the box these boys are ready to destroy anything you throw at them. In fact these pencils have increased my popularity, my teachers decide not to give me homework anymore and I don't have to do anything for these pencils do it all for me. Love em
